PRAOTLCAL EOUCATION

Practical education" is having a boom
 in England just now. Professor Huxley
 Lord Harrington, Lord Gran brook and others
 have been arguing in favor of the establish
 ment of technical schools to follow upon course of common school education, in which the hand must be tutored in company with the head. And by general consent it is admitted that the technical schools would be of little use in themselves unless they were preceded by such reform in common school education as would make the primary step- ping stone to the technical school.
 The newspapers are taking an active part in the discussion. One of the leading ones has something to say which is worth atten- tion in this country as well as in England. It points out that at the time when commer cial supremacy was secured it was possible for England to prosper in material sense without giving much attention to questions of this kind. She had practically no rivals in the race for wealth, and could make her own terms in most of the great markets of the world. But now she is surrounded by eager competitors, and some of them have far surpassed her in the skill and energy with which they have prepared themselves for the industrial struggle of the present age. This is especially true of Germany, which, although 8 com paratively poor country, has shrunk from no sacrifice that has seemed necessary for the establishment of sound and progressive ed ucational system. ''The consequence is that the German commercial classes have lately been vastly extending their operations, and that, as the reports of our own consuls tes- tify, they have been able in many countries to obtain possession of trade which was once supposed to belong by sort of natural right to English merchants. If we are to maintain the great place won for us by our forefathers we must adapt ourselves to the conditions of cur own day, and the first step must be the provision of adequate means for the instruc- tion of the children of the working classes. They must receive wider, deeper and more vivid knowledge than is now imparted to them by elementary teachers, and their work at school must have more direct and inti- mate connection with the industries in which they are afterwards to be employed"
 The reports of the consuls of this country make the same complaints that the reports of the English do. And there is no doubt that the feeling in favor of more practical educa ton is growing fast here.

formance: No possible harm or surrender of dignity or social degradation can result from colored men and white men maneuv= ring on the same military field-especially when we see them manouvring side by side every day in the same cotton field. If we can work alike, as we do without fear or social equality, in the fields, in the work shops, in the sawmills, in the log camps, at all times and everywhere in the daily avoca- tions of life, surely we should not view with alarm the entrance of three colored com panies upon drill ground upon which will appear over eighty companies of whites.

From the Pall Mall Gazette.1
 We take the following amusing descrip- tion of life in Algeria from the private letter of distinguished American at present resi- ding there:
 ''Life here is very pleasant most of the time and ought to be all the time. We have a small villa with garden and orange tree. We ride, drive, read and gossip with the na- tives. The only drawback is damnable tendency on the part of the inhabitants to drag one perpetually before the juge de paix. Soon after our arrival had to discharge my corriere for impertinence and other crimes. He, thinking he would catch me without re- sources in strange land, demanded six months wages for being discharged without sufficient warning. I offered him a weeks wages and fare back to Paris. He got at tfe judge first and poisoned his mind. I was summoned and then the fun began.
 For month I have been appearing week ly in court swearing that the nan had been a servant, he making himself out to be sort of gentlenan-interpreter who ought not to be discharged. The judge, as l say, was entirely in favor of the corriere, though I had all the law on my side. The joke is coming. A week ago we had an audience again, and the judge said he would pronounce judgment that day week (to-day.)
 On Saturday last I wrote letter to the judge calling his attention to certain points in the case which he had ignored in court, and finally appealing to haute justice. That night the poor man took to his bed and died on Sunday. Whether my letter killed him don't pretend to say. We must wait for another judge to come before we progress.
 1 have another proces in hand. The man who lets us our horses pretends that I hired them by the month. I don't recognize any such agreement, and have summoned him to accept my offer through the Huissier for each ride or drive we have had. The good man had row with my wife yesterday be- cause she told him he must be tres nigaud to suppose we would pay him any such sum as he asked. He at once became very angry and said: Madame, je ne suis pas nigaud. Madame, ie vous vaux bien! Monsieur, madame ma appele nigaud" &c. feel more or less sure he will summon her for in- sulting him. Really never saw such beast ly people. They look upon a stranger as common prey. now have 8 lawyer in steady pay to protect me in case of emergen- ey and seldom go out alone. In other re speets the place is perfectly enchanting climate, scenery, food and wine and tobacco. Send me books and I ask for no more.

Some wise men expect the great land boom in Kansas City to burst soon. Lots on the best business streets are now said to be selling for $6, 600 front foot. This is at least two and half times as much as can be obtained for similar land in St. Louis and San Francisco. Indeed, a great deal of Kansas City property is held at higher fig ures than that of Chicago, and even in New York and London eligible land can be bought at figures not very much higher than the 'sboom" prices of Kansas City.
 A number of English capitalists are about to erect flour mills at Rio Janeiro of suffi- cient capacity to grind all the flour which Brazil needs The scheme seems feasible one, for there being no duty on goods inn ported into Brazil from the Argentine Re- public, the wheat necessary can be obtained from that country at a small cost. The ex- tent of our four trade with Brazil averages about 75O, 900 barrels year, and in view of the fact that there is at present duty of 75 cents a barrel on the flour which we send there, it is feared that the American millers will not be able to compete with the propos- ed Brazil flour mills.

Getting Rid of a Bedfello1v.

tFrO1n the GlODe-DSInOCFaGl
 There will be an immense crowd assem- bled in this city on the occasion of the na- tional encampment next September, and there will unquestionably be large number of people crowded into single room For the benefit of such as may find themselves in unpleasant company, I will relate the measures took to protect myself on the oc- cason of the California encampment. The hotel was crowded and I was obliged to share my bed with an unknown gentleman from Petaluma. The clerk introduced us, and soon perceived that the gentleman had not only looked upon the wine when it was red, but also drank it. I determined to have my full share of the bed, and in order to ob- tain this end upon retiring I strapped 8 sharp spur to my heel. When my convivia1 bedfellow rolled between the sheets I began to kick about as if sleeping restlessly. The spur was brought into frequent contact with the cuticle of my friend, and must have pro- duced severe laceration. He stood it nobly for some time, but finally arose, got into his clothes as well as he could and made for the door. At the threshold he turned back and shook me by the shoulder to awaken me. ''Sir," he said, "before I go away I want to tell you that if you were 8 gentleman you would cut your toe nails."

Disappointing Persons.

It may have been noticed by some wEo have listened to an Ho1ian harp that, how ever fascinating for the time being are the sweet sounds it brings forth, they do not abide in the memory. Probably the reason is the lack of regularity of time or rhythm, of the repetition of sounds we have learned to expect, all of which contribute to fix in the mind other musical cadences which so often delight the ear. Something of the same kind is noticeable in human life. There are people who are attractive in person, fas- cinating in conversation, holding us, it may be, spell-bound while in their presence, but who leave no abiding trace when they are gone. The bright things they have said and the good ones they have done are so scat tered and unconnected with each other that they are soon forgotten. They lack that per- manence of character, that stability of mind which would enable us to depend upon them and to know where and how to find them in any given case. Such one will perhaps please us by espousing enthusiastically some object we have at heart, and we imagine we are to have valuable adherent, when 10! the wind that had influenced him changes: something quito different engages his atten- tion, and when we look for his aid we find that he has forgotten both us and our cause.
